Thank you SO much to everyone who’s subscribed and helping me reach my goals here on youtube. You mean the world to me!
Also, the youtube advice/tips I give in this video is more towards the same niche as mine, lifestyle. I hope it helps!! And when I say “switch the angle every 5 seconds” I mean during b-roll, just wanted to clarify🤍
In YT, the success might allways be around the next corner.
So true!! You never know when it will happen
My channel is a little over a year old and I'm still waiting to be monetized. I've thought about just throwing in the towel, but at the same time I feel like there's no way I can give up now with how much work I've put into it!!!
Awee don’t give up! I always think it could just be one video away.. you got this🤍 doing it for over a year shows you have so much commitment and I really admire that
Do more research about how to write the title and don't use this | i can see the title more specific and not use that, u get more viewers. If you want to monetize, try to reach the qualified in one year because your five hundread subcriber would equal 0 like be burn from 500 to 0 when the year changed
Don’t give up, keep going ✨
💪be Strong 👍
Ive had my channel for 5 years now yes i have had breaks etc but nearly at the point to be able to monetize it and this year i want it to become a big part of my income
And now you’re over 6k subscribers. You killing it
Thank you so much!!🫶🏼
I greatly appreciate your video and your openness. Thank you for making this video.
Of course!! Glad it was helpful!
These are my favorite videos to watch right now because I JUST started my youtube channel. Watching this is very encouraging and helps me see the more realistic side of things but at the same time it gets me more and more excited for the views I get. Thank you for sharing!
I’m so glad it’s helpful!! And congrats on starting your channel omg that’s so exciting 💗💗
To all small channel
Do not give up . We got this ! Keep posting 🫶🏽🤍🙏🏼
Yes!! Thanks for watching🤍
Thank you.
From 2.5k subscribers to that first TH-cam paycheck - you're not just sharing numbers, but a journey filled with dedication and milestones. Your transparency is refreshing, and it's evident that your hard work is paying off. Thanks for the insight into your TH-cam adventure; it's both motivating and informative for those of us aspiring to grow our channels. Here's to many more paychecks and subscribers in your future! 🥂 And I would love to watch a video about affiliate marketing and how much money can one make even with a relatively "small" channel.
Awe thank you so much for your kind words!!! It means a lot to me. As far as affiliate marketing goes, I actually don’t really make any money with that yet. I haven’t fully taken the time to learn more about it and try to grow it. I share amazon links here and there but I’ve only had a few people use my links so far.
@@rebekahjoy oh so sorry about that. Hopefully it will grow organically with your subscribers and views 💛
I just subscribed to your channel and it was because of your beautiful video. Thank you, u inspired me not to be controlled by fear. I’m starting my own TH-cam channel today and I’m confident that’s it’s going to be a major success, and I’m going to be able to look back at your video as what gave me that little extra nudge I needed to spring into action 😊
So glad to hear that!! I’m glad you found this video motivating!
Absolutely loved this!! Congrats on getting monetized and such great earnings for your first couple months. Also that phone tripod thing is a game changer I needddd that for b roll omg!!
Thank you so much!! And omg I literally use it every day, even for things like watching youtube videos when I’m cooking or eating ahhaha it is amazinggg
you are killing it!!! love watching your journey 💕
Thank you so much! I appreciate you!🤍
just a suggestion, based off an experiment with another guy recently, try doing a short a day that links back to your long form vids as well as some that are "teasers" for your upcoming vids. not much time to that at all and you drive more traffic back to your long form content and puts people on alert to your upcoming vids. I obviously don't have much interest, for hopefully obvious reasons, in your content itself but I love your flow, grind and enthusiasm. definitely subscribing just out of curiosity. I love watching new channels grow. im an analytics NUT!! haha keep up the great work!
I saw a video recently telling people not to make shorts if you want to focus on long form content (short subscribers won’t be interested in the long form stuff) but I feel like for my niche anyway the people that see my shorts would be interested in the long form stuff too 🤔 what do you think?
I just started a channel!! So happy for you and your progress! Keep it up 🥰❤️
Ahh that is so exciting!!! You got this!🤍🤍🤍
IM SO PROUD OF YOU!! 🎉🎉🎉 you’re killing it ❤
THANK YOU!!!🥳🫶🏼🤍
Congratulations!!! Thank you for sharing your journey.
Thank you!!🤍🤍
Happy Weekend Rebekah!!and your hairs are looking too too pretty and silky you are my inspiration✨🥺🥺
Thank you!!
Almost a year into mine (but I will admit, staying consistent was a bit hard with all that had been happening in my personal life) but I'm finally in a place where I can post consistently! It's been a month of having an actual schedule and I've started seeing improvement in the views and subscribers. It's honestly such an exciting journey! Holding thumbs you get to 3k before the end of this year!❤
You got this! If you love it, keep going🤍🤍 thank you for being here and for your support!🫶🏼
Thank you for sharing!! This was so insightful :) Subscribed!
I’m so glad it’s helpful!! 🤍
Thank you so much for sharing!
Hearing these stories are very motivating :D
Awe good!! I’m so glad!
Looks like you smashed the 3k target! Thanks for the heads up on small channel info. Need to know what I'm aiming for. Cheers 🙌
Of course!! Thank you for watching!
Thanks for such a refreshingly honest video. We watched it all. We (that's my parrot and me) have subscribed and found your approach really helpful 👍
Thank you so much! Glad you found it helpful. And that’s so cool you have a parrot!
Very informative! Thank you! Watching this video is still keeping me motivated with my own TH-cam channel!☺️ I love your videos & I hope you also had a great & safe thanksgiving! 🦃🫶🏼
You got this girl!! Thank you so much for being here🤍 I hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving as well!!
@@rebekahjoy thank you hun!
Love this girl! Doing awesome!
Thank you so much!🤍
TH-cam recommended this video and I'm glad they did! Really do hope your channel grows Rebekah as it's plain to see your passion you have for it. Looking forward to the ride 😁
Thank you so much! That is very kind of you😊
Same here, I don't know why I was recommended this, maybe google knows more than I do. Still, it was an interesting watch. Great to see the perspective of someone who is somewhere on the beginning part of the monetization climb. (not a total beginner, but not a huge channel either)
The 50 rule is something that I always think of as well! It must be a universal stand point. Great work on your channel and absolutely loved the video! I cant wait to create my own when the time comes
That rule was so helpful for me! Thank you so much and I’m wishing you the best!!
I think that is an excellent idea. Not just for youtube videos, but for nearly everything you create for yourself. It takes time to improve and learn things, giving yourself that time without too much harsh criticism is just smart. Though it is not bad to make mistakes, that is also called 'failing forward'. By failing, you learn way more than by succeeding right away.
I really appreciate the pep-talk to start a youtube channel if someone has the passion to do so. My biggest issues are not fearing the camera, or the negative feedback or any of the things you mentioned like self-doubt.
My issues are that I really don't like video editing and would be extremely bored having to do that quite a lot. The other thing is that I don't have enough leftover time currently to do a youtube project on the side and not be completely overworked. For it to take 2 years or maybe more before you finally make some money is just crazy long, let alone be able to live off it (or at least provide enough to be able to work less on other things)
At the end of the day, even if you're passionate about something, this is still work. Working requires energy and you only have so much of it. To fully enjoy being a youtube creator for a living, I would need a video editor, I would need full monetization and enough views and subscribers to make whatever is uploaded generate enough income for both the editor and myself. I just don't see it happen without a seriously long amount of time of being able to live off savings.
Thank you so much for sharing!!!
Of course! Hope it’s helpful!
Congrats 🎉🎉 keep going!
Thank you so much!🤍🤍
Thank you, I'm always sceptical if my journal on TH-cam will ever succeed to monetize. However, this video gives me the motivation to continue. Thank you.
I’m so glad this motivates you! You got this!!
I’m so glad I found your channel❤
Hi!! I’m so glad you’re here!🤍
The TH-cam journey is not always easy - that is for sure. But if you take this young lady's advice YOU CAN DO IT! Pushing through the downs, and there will be downs, is the key. You have to keep putting one foot in front of the other and get your content out there while trying to improve. Congrats on your success Rebekah.
Such good advice!! Thank you!!
Great breakdown!
Thank you!!
I need to make a video on my youtube income because I have had a drastically different journey. I loved watching this!
You should - I’d love to hear about it!!! Thanks for watching🤍
Congrats! Idk why I thought you have been on here less than that lol. Time flies. It's been fun watching you grow on here.
Thank you!! Time really flies soo fast, feels like I just started!🤍🤍 thank you for being here and sticking around🥹
You have a new subscriber in me. :) What made me subscribe is your openness, transparency about the hardships, and the fact that you reply to all the comments you get. This video was really valuable info for me and also deeply encouraging so thankyou for making it. I'm creating a TH-cam channel for parodies/satires/spoofs of well known songs. It's my goal to post my first video by July this year. I have started recording myself singing but there are many times when I experience self doubt/imposter syndrome around my abilities. We can't give up though. It's not easy but we can't throw in the towel even though that inner critic voice gets strong. I have a couple questions for you. What program do you use to edit your videos? and how do you get so consistent in making the videos so quickly (one a week)? Given my energy levels that seems impossible for me. Many thanks x
Awee welcome!!! So so glad you’re here. That’s so exciting you are wanting to start a channel. I definitely dealt with imposter syndrome a ton!! It goes away the more videos you make. James clear wrote “consistency enlarges ability” and I think that is so true. I use final cut pro to edit but i started on imovie which is free. As for consistency and energy levels, i 10000% feel that- i am tired all the time. I think I stay consistent because I want it so bad. I made a list of my “why” for doing this and that helps push me. I also stay consistent because I’ve chosen to prioritize this and give up other things such as hanging out with friends and having a social life LOL. I can’t do it all and I’m willing to make sacrifices at this moment. Wishing you the BEST!!🤍
The parody channel sounds like a great idea, hopefully you make a start with it as soon as you're ready for it. (or maybe just fake being ready)
Also, to both of you: Please don't give up your social life, you can be very consistant and plan around it. Not having any life besides work, even if it is your passion, is just not great for both your mental health, or your physical health eventually. I've seen so many super dedicated, really talented content creators get burnouts, or depression and that stuff can take years to recover from. Work hard, but make sure you do other stuff as well that gives you joy.
Thanks.Your video is motivation for my SHORT video channel 👍
I’m so glad! You got this!
I started my channel a while ago but never posted anything serious until 4 months ago.
Ive hit 1K already but the watch hours are the hardest for some reason.
Definitely not giving up though. I want to do this full time and on a bigger scale so I can help others 🙌🏽 Its just a bit hard with my disability so sometimes that really makes things more complicated and difficult.
Praying I get where I need to though to help the people I need to. Thanks for this video. Its awesome to hear from smaller TH-camrs who are on their journey and are monetized. 💯
Watch hours are definitely pretty hard to get, but you’ll get there!! And i love that you’re going into it with the intention to help others, that is SO important 🤍
If you can focus on a bit longer videos that still are up to the quality that you think is good, that might up the watch hours quite a bit. The most important thing is doing things you love, so it doesn't become a chore. Keep at it and best of luck!
Very informative. Thank you! Have you made a video on keeping yourself on a schedule- I find it's my weakest point. Posting regularly.
Thank you! And ooh thats a good video idea, I’ll write that one down. I did do a somewhat similar video about how to create a routine a couple videos ago
You absolutely smashed that 3k subs goal!! 😊😊😊
Woohooo! Thank you🤍🤍
so necessary, thank you!
Thank you🤍🤍
Your watch hours are crazy! Mine are so low right now but I just started. Congrats on making it though!
Your views and subscriber count are really good for just starting out! The watch hours will come, don’t worry!
Fear stopped me for years and I hated my voice. But I just started a new channel with my friend about three weeks ago. Sound advice. New supporter✅
That’s amazing! Congrats on starting!!
@@rebekahjoy thank you 🙏
Great work on monetisation. Insightful video. Thank you.
Thank you so much! Glad it was helpful
Tanks for sharing great tips🎉
Of course💗
thank you for the help! john
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! I have some companions to make with this video. I get around 400k views per month mostly from shorts and make about 105 dollars a month. My cpm is usually between 30-100 dollars with some as high as $3600 but my rpm is sadly down to like 70 cents. My niche is very low paying. Im also the kind of TH-camr that posts like 3 videos a day
I made a video that just blew up and got 200k + views in less than a month, and though i was just recording what i do for work. That’s proof that anyone can do it! Good video 🎉🎉
Wow that’s amazing! Congrats!!
Thank you! Glad to see u're doing well with your channel too!@@rebekahjoy
How much does such a video make?
This gives me hope ❤️ I started my channel in December 2023
Omg yes you got this!! Mindset is everything when it comes to chasing your dreams. 🤍
love this amazing advices and I've been posting to but i like only vlogs
I love vlogs too!🤍🤍
Great advice!!!!
Thank you!! Hope it’s helpful!
Love the transparency!
Trying to grow my channel right now to get monetized 😅
You got this!!!🤍 i have a video coming out next week about everything i’ve learned about growing my youtube channel!
@@rebekahjoy thank you!! Will be looking forward to it!
Tnx for sharing ❤❤❤ very inspiring...New subscriber here. Love your authenticity.
Awe thank you so much!! I’m SO glad you chose to stick around!❤️
Congratulations for getting monetized you worked hard. I have 107 subscribers and i get encouraged when someone gets monetized. Congrats

Very true. Let’s keep it up!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Congratulations!
Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much!! My channel is smaller than yours and this was motivation!! Keep it up, I subbed.
Thank you so much! Glad it was helpful!
Hello from Ukraine! Thank you so much for such a motivating video!!!! I only have 300 subscribers and I’m at the beginning of my journey although I created the channel 3 years ago. as soon as I want to quit, I remember the words: it could just be one video away..
That is so true! You got this!! And don’t be afraid to try new things (editing style, camera angle, thumbnails, etc) and see what sticks!! Wishing you the best!!!
Oh yeah, ive been wanting to start for 14years...i remember i posted a video back in 2010 and when someone said they saw me on youtube i brought it down...well, we are back. Thanks gor the insight. Keep up ✌♥👊
Awww girl! You got this! Life is too short to not chase your dreams 🤍🤍 best wishes to you!
Thank you, lets go👊
Keep doing❤❤
Thank you!!
Congratulations 😊
Thank you!!
Great job 💖💖🌹🌹

Thanks so much for sharing ; ❤new subbie 😊
Thanks for choosing to stick around!!🤍🤍
Im new to this pride. 🎉
🥳🥳
Wow you did that in a year, very impressive!
Aw thank you so much!🤍 it’s so crazy how fast time flies
Thank you for the video. I'm about to get monetized soon, hopefully in a month, it's been a lot of hard work. I create food vlogs in English in India with viewers from around the world..
I need just 500 hrs. Can't wait to get there and see how much I can earn 😅 Thanks for the video & I just subscribed as well
That’s great, you’re so close!!!
Good video And have A Good DAY
Thank you! You as well :)
This was so helpful! I just hit 500 and I’m motivated but so tired! Are the first 500 the hardest? 😅
Congrats!!! I definitely think the first 500 and even 1,000 are pretty hard. But you got this!! Consistency will pay off🫶🏼💗
Thanks for this video ☺️ is it normal to stay under 100 subscribers for a few weeks? It took a lot for me to start this journey and I’m so nervous.
Absolutely!! It takes awhile to start growing. Hang in there!
Congratulations
Thank you!!
@@rebekahjoy you’re welcome
How do you get discount codes for products as a small TH-camr?
Great question!! Brands will often reach out to send a product and offer an affiliate link. There’s also usually an affiliate application link on brand’s websites that you can fill out! Also places like Shopify collabs!💗
Not even 50 video's yet and monetized that's pretty cool, well done 💪
Thank you!!🤗
for me its like probation i want to see how my channel will go with basic meme shorts and than other videos maybe one day i will have the guts to start my own yt channel with my face on it until thatt, i watch you 😄
You got this! Go for it!
Vidiq has used a part of this video in their latest video..
Thank you for telling me!! That’s so wild!
@@rebekahjoy yes it is 😃
👏🏾👏🏾❤️
🫶🏼🫶🏼
Lol the low-key sponsor of the phone case: "they did not sponsor this video, but they gave me a code for you" 😂😂 thats sponsorship.
Hahah I can understand how it could look that way but no, they did not sponsor this video. They sent me the product as a gift and I had no obligation to include it in a video. But I genuinely love it so much that I decided to mention it in this video and share the discount code they provided me
Thank you for this motivation! Im missing my last 26 subscribers to reach 1k! I believe there are 26 more people out there that will like my channel…I just haven’t found them yet! 😁🙏🏼🤗
You are so close!!! You got this🤍🤍🤍
wait crazy how we've made the same exact amount of money and i'm sitting with almost 2.5k too
Love that!!! Keep it up💗💗
😊
Just applied for Google Adsense this was so helpful ❤
Ahh im so glad!!!! And congrats!!!
Did you have any courses that helped you on your journey?
I did not take any courses while starting out - I mostly just studied other channels and have been watching youtube for years! I do recommend the Storytelling Masterclass for Vloggers course by Jackson Tandy - I took it recently and it has a lot of good info. My code JOY10 can get you some money off but i think it expires in the next day or two. www.jacksontandy.com/a/2147831355/GUKRJHaY
I'm at 870 Subs right now but haven't posted for a year because I started to suffer with stress in work life and got really busy. It's a shame because my videos are quite polished and now I think the break has probably ruined my channel. I was getting thousands of views in a short of amount of time too.
I totally understand the struggle with trying to do youtube while working full time. Its so tough! But if you love it, definitely again! Sometimes the algorithm is forgiving for taking a break :)
Number 1 rule to be successful on TH-cam: BE GOOD-LOOKING
Wait how do you get monetized, i got 2k subs also but i ddint get monetized
I believe you also need to get 4,000 watch hours! Keep it up👏🏼👏🏼
You just got 1 more sub! I'm at 542 subs and just got serious in Sept 2023.
That’s amazing!🙌🏼
@@rebekahjoy Subs, yes. Hours not so amazing. I'm at 516 public watch hours. I've got most of my subs by posting shorts. I've posted about 90 long form videos, 5-15 minutes long and it's really hard to get the puiblic watch hours. At this rate, it will take 3 more years to get monetized. Actually, started this channel in 2014 but, only got serious in September of 2023 and when I changed the theme to beekeeping.
I'm literally done with 1k subs And 4000 watch hours, but I can't get pass the number verification code in Adsense, Im just lost in all of this, can't create an adsense account
Oh no! I’m sorry that’s happening :(
@@rebekahjoy I'm still tranna fix it, I believe everything is gonna be ok
What would you do if you earned over $1,000 in a day?
Wouldn’t that be something!! If it was consistent, I would quit my 9-5 and do youtube full time. And I’d use the money to invest and also give back to others.
I started my STEELERS channel 3 years ago.
2.1k Subs
Post every day
Its awesome!!!
That’s amazing, congrats!!!
are these estimates close to the real money you recieved
I would say they were pretty close! Like a few dollars off I think!
This changes country to country unfortunally
That’s true, I can only speak for my experience in the US
14:14 no you’re not, I do the same 😂
Omgg im so glad I’m not the only one hahahahah
Hello averyone 🙋♀️
My first day i made 74c 😆
Its awesome though
Keep it up!!👏🏼👏🏼
Rebekah you didn't reply me nice comment 😭😭😭😭😔😔😔😭😭😭
I did, I said thank you, it was just a bit delayed 😊😊
hello Pretty Wonderful.
Rebekah. and Family. What
ever happen you know
❤,,,❤,,,❤,,,
I saw that your TH-cam videos are very lovely . You have enough of the videos but your video is not getting views because there is some problem with your videos. Your SEO score is very poor and you need optimization for better results. If you update the videos then the views of the video will increase
